Comments on a youth named Lewis Gunn, who "would not buy his own mother "out of slavery. Anne thinks that Edward Beecher ought to be admonished "...I fear he really does not know his duty." Discusses Sarah M. Grimke's coming (to Boston). "I grow more & more sick of our Board when I meditate on them in solitude." Writes about family matters.
